Introduction Silicon carbide whiskers have been incorporated into ce￾ramic materials for improving their fracture toughness [1–3]. Improved fracture toughness allows the silicon carbide whisker reinforced alumina ceramic composite to be used for cutting nickel-based super alloys. Although researches have concentrated on improving the fracture toughness of the composite, its practical applications often need better tribological properties including a low friction coefficient and wear rate. The friction and wear of ceramic materials is a complicated topic and involves several variables. One of the variables is the microstructure of the ceramic material. Since the silicon carbide whiskers affect the mechanical properties of the composite, they certainly influence its tribological properties. According to our previous report, the matrix grain size exerted a strong influence upon wear of alumina–SiC whisker composite at room temperature [4]. Meanwhile, applications of the ceramic materials often involve wear resistance at elevated temperatures, as in the metal forming industry. At elevated temperatures, the situ￾ation changes and the microstructural variables other than ∗ Corresponding author. Tel.: +82-2-3290-3272; fax: +82-2-928-3584.

Although some researchers investigated high temperature friction and wear of alumina–SiC whisker composites, it is not clear what the most important microstructural variable is. Yust reported that both the friction coefficient and the wear rate of SiC whisker reinforced alumina composite increased as the test temperature increased up to 673 K, then decreased with further increases in temperature [4]. According to Yust, the tribochemical reaction product on the surface is responsible for the variation in friction and wear of the composite. Del￾laCorte reported that the self-mated alumina–SiC whisker composite exhibited a lower wear rate than that of monolithic alumina against itself [5]. While most of the previous studies were performed with the composite with randomly oriented silicon carbide whiskers, our previous report was carried out with a composite of aligned silicon carbide whiskers [4]. Due to the highly anisotropic microstructures, wear of the composite varied according to the sliding direction, with respect to the whisker or fiber alignment direction [7]. In this study, alumina ceramics reinforced with the aligned silicon carbide whiskers were tested against silicon nitride balls at high temperatures in order to investigate high temperature wear mechanisms of the whisker reinforced composites and the effect of orientation of those whiskers on the friction and wear of the composite. 0043-1648/01/$ – see front matter © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

A smooth spot of the T10 sample tested at 873 K was selected for worn area analysis. above 800◦C due to the plastic deformation accompanied by recrystallization [8]. Tested temperature is so much lower than brittle to plastic transition temperature that the dom￾inant mechanism might be brittle fracture and both of the friction coefficients and the wear rates were increased with increasing temperature. In case of the whisker reinforced composites, the friction coefficients were decreased and the wear rates were slightly increased. This results suggest that SiC whiskers somehow lower the friction coefficient at higher temperature. Miyoshi and Buckley reported that the friction coefficient of the silicon carbide decreased with an increase in temperatures from 400 to 600◦C due to the gradual removal of the contaminants of carbon and oxygen from the surface [9]. Above 800◦C, the friction coefficient decreased rapidly with an increase of temperature due to graphitization of the silicon surface. Removal of contam￾inants and the graphitization might contribute to lower friction coefficient of SiC reinforced alumina composites. The analysis of the worn surface indicated that a tribo￾chemical layer can be formed, as evidenced by observed roll debris. Roll debris has been observed for silicon-based ceramics and SiC whisker reinforced alumina composites [5,10]. The formation of the tribochemical layer can be pro￾moted from the oxidation of whiskers or reaction products between the whisker and the matrix as suggested by Della￾Corte [5]. The formation of a tribochemical layer will lower the friction and wear rate as whisker contents increased, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The monolithic alumina shows the least amount of wear at 403 K, as shown in Fig. 3. This low temperature result was explained by the dominant effect of the matrix grain size in a previous publication [4]. Above 673 K, the formation of a tribochemical layer plays more important role in the friction and wear of the SiC whisker reinforced alumina composite. Evidence for this formation of a tribochemical layer or roll formation, is easily seen on the worn surfaces of SiC whisker reinforced alumina composites (Figs. 7 and 8). It is difficult to distinguish the tribochemical layer and the plastically deformed layer in the micrographs of the damaged surface. However, evidence of roll formation confirms formation of films (Fig. 9). Similar roll formations have been found on silicon nitride, alumina and silicon carbide composites [11–14]. The formation of these soft film and rolls has been found to lower friction and wear of sliding ceramics. EDS analysis of unworn and worn surfaces also confirm that silicon rich films formed on the worn surface. As shown in Fig. 11, more rolls are found on the worn surface at 673 K. At 673 K, the number of rolls seems to increase with the whisker contents (Fig. 8). Higher temperatures facilitate faster chemical reaction and also decreases the viscosity of the glassy surface film. If the reaction layer is liquid at the sliding temperatures, roll formation would be difficult but the friction might be kept lower. Therefore, the lowest friction coefficient and the least roll formation at 873 K for sample T20 might be due to the lowering viscosity of the reaction layer. Yust and Allard showed that even at a moderate load and sliding speed, the frictional temperature for SiC whisker reinforced alumina composite could rise above the test temperature by about 400–500◦C, based on their calculation [14]. This temper￾ature can greatly influence tribological performance by the modification of the reaction film. The whiskers of samples T10 and T20 were aligned with the tape casting direction. Sliding on sample T10 and was carried out in three directions with respect to whisker ori￾entation, but the whiskers were well aligned. Samples T10 and T20 showed different friction coefficients depending on the orientation and surface of the test. For sample T10 at 403 K, the lowest friction coefficient was obtained in the direction normal with the tape casting direction on the tape surface, and highest in the direction normal with the lami￾nation direction, as shown in Fig. 5. Slightly higher friction coefficients in the direction normal with the tape casting direction were noticed for sample T20 at 403 K. However, the friction coefficients depending on different sliding di￾rections are maintained to be approximately 0.35 and 0.27 at 873 K for T10 and T20, respectively. This result indicates that anisotropic effect on the friction diminishes at 873 K. The frictional surface must be covered in a similar manner, in spite of the different whisker orientation. However, the effect of sliding direction on wear rate at 873 and 403 K show similar trends. Cyffka and Hornbogen also reported that wear resistance showed a much more pronounced anisotropy than friction [15]. 5. Conclusions The dominant wear and friction mechanism change with increase in test temperature. The matrix grain size is the dominant mechanism at a relatively low temperature but the reaction layer due to the whiskers can be considered to be the dominant mechanism for the high temperature sliding wear of the SiC whisker reinforced alumina composite.
